These 3D-printed chair designs have been designed by Johannes Steinbauer Office For Design as a series of seating solutions that harness the latest technologies for comfort and style.
The chairs are constructed with wooden components for the frame and accented by 3D-printed parts that use a new manufacturing technique from Oeschler. The use of 3D-printed components enables alternative items like springs, foam and fabrics to be omitted without compromising either the function or form of the chairs.
The 3D-printed chair designs are easy to assemble and take apart, which makes them great for a wide range of implementations. This also supports the product end-of-life by allowing the furniture pieces to be disassembled and the various components recycled accordingly.
